Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Reinigungswagen, mit einer Basis, mindestens drei seitlich oder unter der Basis angeordneten Rädern sowie einem über der Basis angeordneten Aufbau zur Aufnahme von Reinigungsutensilien.The present invention relates to a cleaning trolley, with a base, at least three wheels arranged laterally or below the base and a structure arranged above the base for receiving cleaning utensils.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Reinigungswagen dieser Art sind in den verschiedensten Ausführungsformen seit langem bekannt, wie beispielsweise aus der EP 1 568 581 B . Die Basis, welche in der Regel als tragende Plattform oder Rahmenanordnung ausgebildet ist, kann dabei aus einer Kunststoff- oder Metallplatte oder einer Metallrohrkonstruktionen bestehen.Cleaning car of this type have long been known in various embodiments, such as from the EP 1 568 581 B , The base, which is usually designed as a load-bearing platform or frame arrangement, can consist of a plastic or metal plate or a metal tube structures.

Der Aufbau zur Aufnahme der Reinigungsutensilien wird häufig von einer Säulenkonstruktion oder einer Gestellanordnung aus Strahlrohr gebildet, die in Abhängigkeit des Einsatzzweckes variabel gestaltet und häufig nach einer Art Baukastensystem zusammengesetzt werden kann.The structure for receiving the cleaning utensils is often formed by a pillar structure or a frame assembly of jet pipe, which can be made variable depending on the purpose and often assembled according to a kind of modular system.

Insbesondere im Krankenhausbetrieb ist eine gründliche Reinigung auch glatter Oberflächen wie Fliesen- oder Linoleumböden erforderlich. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass sich mit der Ausstattung bekannter Reinigungswagen wie insbesondere Mops manche Verunreinigungen weder trocken noch nass zufrieden stellend beseitigen lassen (z.B. Haare oder größere Staubflusen). Dies führt zu einem hohen Nacharbeitungsaufwand, beispielsweise durch Aufnehmen der Restverschmutzungen mittels eines Kehrsets.Especially in hospital operation a thorough cleaning of even smooth surfaces such as tile or linoleum floors is required. It has been shown that with the equipment of known cleaning trolley, in particular pug, some impurities can neither dry nor wet satisfactorily eliminate (eg hair or larger dust fluff). This leads to a high reworking effort, for example by picking up the residual dirt by means of a sweeping set.

Die US 5,946,768 offenbart einen Arbeitswagen mit einer seitlich an dem Wagen angebrachten Saugeinheit.The US 5,946,768 discloses a work cart with a suction unit attached to the side of the cart.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher einen Reinigungswagen zu schaffen, der mit geringem Aufwand die Erzielung eines guten Reinigungsergebnisses ermöglicht und dabei einfach aufgebaut ist.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a cleaning trolley, which enables the achievement of a good cleaning result with little effort and is simple in construction.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Reinigungswagen nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a cleaning trolley according to claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, bei einem gattungsgemäßen Reinigungswagen gegenüber den bisherigen Reinigungsutensilien völlig neue Reinigungsmöglichkeiten zu schaffen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass der Reinigungswagen eine integrierte Saugvorrichtung aufweist, die mindestens eine Saugdüse zum Aufsaugen von Verschmutzungen besitzt, wobei die mindestens eine Saugdüse seitlich oder unter der Basis angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise können auch Verschmutzungen, die mit Mops oder dergleichen schwierig beseitigt werden können, wirksam und schnell aufgenommen werden. Der Einsatz von Kehrsets wird in vielen Fällen überflüssig, was nicht nur einen beschleunigten Arbeitsablauf, sondern auch eine Entlastung des Reinigungspersonals mit sich bringt, da sich das Reinigungspersonal nicht mehr bücken muss und weniger Verschmutzungen ausgesetzt ist.The invention is based on the idea to create completely new cleaning possibilities in a generic cleaning trolley compared to the previous cleaning utensils. Against this background, it is provided according to the invention that the cleaning trolley has an integrated suction device which has at least one suction nozzle for sucking up dirt, the at least one suction nozzle being arranged laterally or below the base. In this way, soiling, which can be difficult to be eliminated with pug or the like, can be taken effectively and quickly. The use of sweeping sets is in many cases superfluous, which brings not only an accelerated workflow, but also a relief of the cleaning personnel with it, since the cleaning staff does not have to bend over and less pollution is exposed.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die integrierte Saugvorrichtung eine elektrisch betriebene Saugeinheit aufweist, die mit der mindestens einen Saugdüse in Strömungsverbindung steht. Durch die integrierte und somit stets mitgeführte Saugvorrichtung wird jegliche Beeinträchtigung des Arbeitsablaufes der Reinigungsperson vermieden. Dabei ist es besonders bevorzugt, dass die elektrisch betriebene Saugeinheit eine Akkumulatoreinheit besitzt, sodass der Reinigungswagen stets unabhängig von einer externen Stromversorgung eingesetzt werden kann, mit entsprechenden Vorteilen für einen nicht nur zügigen, sondern auch betriebssicheren Arbeitsablauf.According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the integrated suction device has an electrically operated suction unit, which is in flow communication with the at least one suction nozzle. By the integrated and thus always entrained suction device is any impairment of the work process of the cleaning person avoided. It is particularly preferred that the electrically operated suction unit has a battery unit, so that the cleaning trolley can always be used independently of an external power supply, with corresponding advantages for a not only speedy, but also reliable operation.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist ferner vorgesehen, dass die mindestens eine Saugdüse in Bezug auf die Basis zwischen einer ausgefahrenen und einer zurückgezogenen Position verfahrbar ist. Hierdurch kann die Saugdüse zwei Anforderungen gleichzeitig erfüllen, nämlich einen hohen Wirkungsgrad bei einem Saugbetrieb in der ausgefahrenen Position, und eine geringe Störung und Verletzungsgefahr durch die Saugdüse, wenn diese nicht betrieben wird und sich in der zurückgezogenen Position befindet. Dabei ist es besonders bevorzugt, dass zum Verfahren der Saugdüse zwischen der ausgefahrenen und der zurückgezogenen Position eine Betätigungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, sodass die Bedienperson nicht von Hand an die Saugdüse greifen muss. Hierdurch ergibt sich neben einer geringen Verletzungsgefahr ein effizienter und für die Bedienperson ergonomischer Bedienvorgang der Saugvorrichtung.According to the invention it is further provided that the at least one suction nozzle is movable relative to the base between an extended and a retracted position. In this way, the suction nozzle can meet two requirements simultaneously, namely a high efficiency in a suction operation in the extended position, and a small disturbance and risk of injury by the suction nozzle when it is not operated and is in the retracted position. It is particularly preferred that an actuating device is provided for moving the suction nozzle between the extended and the retracted position, so that the operator does not have to reach for the suction nozzle by hand. This results in addition to a low risk of injury an efficient and ergonomic for the operator operation of the suction device.

Die Betätigungseinrichtung weist mindestens ein Betätigungselement auf, das bevorzugt verschiebbar an dem Aufbau angeordnet ist. Hierdurch kann das Betätigungselement in unmittelbarer Reichweite die Reinigungsperson angeordnet werden, ohne dass diese sich bücken muss. Darüber hinaus kann die Reinigungsperson auf diese Weise mit einer freien Hand einen Besen oder dergleichen benutzen, um den Saugbetrieb der Saugdüse zu unterstützen, obgleich dies selbstverständlich nicht notwendigerweise der Fall sein muss.The actuating device has at least one actuating element, which is preferably arranged displaceably on the structure. As a result, the actuating element can be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the cleaning person without having to bend over. In addition, the cleaner can use a broom or the like with a free hand in this way to assist the suction operation of the suction nozzle, although this need not necessarily be the case, of course.

Darüber hinaus ist das mindestens eine Betätigungselement im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung dazu eingerichtet, die elektrisch betriebene Saugeinheit ein- und/oder auszuschalten. Hierdurch wird die Anzahl der Handhabungsvorgänge durch die Reinigungsperson minimiert, in dem bei einem Betätigen des mindestens einen Betätigungselement gleichzeitig die elektrisch betriebene Saugeinheit eingeschaltet und die mindestens eine Saugdüse in ihre ausgefahrene Position gebracht wird.Moreover, in the context of the present invention, the at least one actuating element is set up to switch the electrically operated suction unit on and / or off. In this way, the number of handling operations is minimized by the cleaning person, in which, upon actuation of the at least one actuating element simultaneously turned on the electrically operated suction unit and the at least one suction nozzle is brought into its extended position.

Darüber hinaus ist gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der Reinigungswagen ferner eine Rückstelleinrichtung für die mindestens eine Saugdüse aufweist, welche die mindestens eine Saugdüse in Richtung der zurückgezogenen Position beaufschlagt. Hierdurch kann die Betätigungseinrichtung besonders einfach ausgebildet werden, und ein Verfahren der Saugdüse in die zurückgezogene Position kann durch bloßes Loslassen eines Betätigungselements oder dergleiche erzielt werden, was den Bedienvorgang des Reinigungswagens weiter vereinfacht und beschleunigt.In addition, according to a development of the invention, it is provided that the cleaning trolley further comprises a return device for the at least one suction nozzle, which acts on the at least one suction nozzle in the direction of the retracted position. As a result, the actuator can be made particularly simple, and a method of the suction nozzle in the retracted position can be achieved by merely releasing an actuator or dergleiche, which further simplifies and speeds up the operation of the cleaning cart.

Ausführliche Beschreibung bevorzugter AusführungsformenDetailed description of preferred embodiments

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung werden nachfolgend ausführlich unter Bezugnahme auf die begleitenden Zeichnungen beschrieben.Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Ein Reinigungswagen 10 gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist in Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 jeweils schematisch in einer Perspektivansicht dargestellt. Der Reinigungswagen 10 besitzt zunächst eine Basis 2 und einen auf der Basis angeordneten Aufbau 8 zur Aufnahme von Reinigungsutensilien wie Wischtüchern, Mops, Eimern, etc. Die Basis 2 und der Aufbau 8 sind in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform durch plattenartige Bauteile gebildet, obgleich sie selbstverständlich auch durch verschiedene Gitter- oder Rahmenkonstruktionen gebildet sein können.A cleaning cart 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 each shown schematically in a perspective view. The cleaning cart 10 initially has a base 2 and an assembly 8 arranged on the base for receiving cleaning utensils such as wipes, pots, buckets, etc. The base 2 and the structure 8 are formed in the present embodiment by plate-like components, although of course they also may be formed by various grid or frame structures.

Unter der Basis 2 sind in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform vier drehbare Räder 7 angeordnet, sodass der Reinigungswagen leicht geschoben werden kann.Under the base 2, four rotatable wheels 7 are arranged in the present embodiment, so that the cleaning carriage can be easily slid.

Der Reinigungswagen 10 besitzt erfindungsgemäß eine integrierte Saugvorrichtung, die in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform durch eine Saugdüse 1 und eine elektrisch betriebene Saugeinheit 3 gebildet ist, die mit der Saugdüse 1 über einen nicht näher gezeigten Schlauch in Strömungsverbindung steht. Die Saugdüse 1 dient zum Aufsaugen von Verschmutzungen, die sich am Boden im Bereich unterhalb der Basis 2 befinden und ist in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform unter der Basis 2 angeordnet. Es ist jedoch ebenso möglich, die Saugdüse 1 seitlich an der Basis 2 anzuordnen.The cleaning cart 10 according to the invention has an integrated suction device, which is formed in the present embodiment by a suction nozzle 1 and an electrically operated suction unit 3, which is in flow communication with the suction nozzle 1 via a hose not shown in detail. The suction nozzle 1 serves to absorb dirt, which are located at the bottom in the area below the base 2 and is arranged in the present embodiment below the base 2. However, it is also possible to arrange the suction nozzle 1 laterally on the base 2.

Bei der elektrisch betriebenen Saugeinheit 3 handelt es sich in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform um einen Staubsauger mit einem eigenen Gehäuse, obgleich die Saugeinheit 3 auch ohne eigenes Gehäuse in den Aufbau 8 des Reinigungswagens 10 integriert sein kann. Ferner ist die elektrisch betriebene Saugeinheit 3 in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform mit einer Akkumulatoreinheit ausgerüstet, sodass diese nicht über einen Netzstecker mit einer Stromversorgung verbunden werden muss, sondern netzunabhängig betrieben werden kann.In the present embodiment, the electrically operated suction unit 3 is a vacuum cleaner with its own housing, although the suction unit 3 may also be integrated into the structure 8 of the cleaning cart 10 without its own housing. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the electrically operated suction unit 3 is equipped with an accumulator unit, so that it does not have to be connected to a power supply via a mains plug, but can be operated independently of the mains.

Wie anhand eines Vergleichs von Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 am besten zu erkennen ist, ist die Saugdüse 1 in Bezug auf die Basis 2 zwischen einer ausgefahrenen Position (vgl. Fig. 2) und einer zurückgezogenen Position (vgl. Fig. 1) verfahrbar. Bei der ausgefahrenen Position gemäß Fig. 2 handelt es sich um eine Position, in welcher die Saugdüse 1 nahe zum Boden angeordnet ist und die für den Saugbetrieb der Saugdüse 1 vorgesehen ist. Die zurückgezogene Position (Fig. 2) ist hingegen eine Ruheposition, obgleich die Saugdüse 1 auch in dieser Position betrieben werden kann.As based on a comparison of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is best seen, the suction nozzle 1 with respect to the base 2 between an extended position (see. Fig. 2 ) and a retracted position (cf. Fig. 1 ) movable. In the extended position according to Fig. 2 it is a position in which the suction nozzle 1 is arranged close to the bottom and which is provided for the suction operation of the suction nozzle 1. The withdrawn position ( Fig. 2 ), however, is a rest position, although the suction nozzle 1 can also be operated in this position.

Zum Verfahren der Saugdüse 1 zwischen der ausgefahrenen und der zurückgezogenen Position weist der Reinigungswagen 10 eine Betätigungseinrichtung mit einem Betätigungselement 5 auf, das verschiebbar an der Oberseite des Aufbaus 8 angeordnet ist. Das Betätigungselement 5 steht in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform über eine Druckstange mit der Saugdüse 1 in Verbindung, wobei die Druckstange teilweise innerhalb des Aufbaus 8 verläuft. Durch Greifen und Betätigen des Betätigungselements 5 kann somit die Saugdüse 1 problemlos zwischen der ausgefahrenen und der zurückgezogenen Position verfahren werden.For moving the suction nozzle 1 between the extended and the retracted position, the cleaning carriage 10 has an actuating device with an actuating element 5, which is arranged displaceably on the upper side of the structure 8. The actuating element 5 is in the present embodiment via a push rod with the suction nozzle 1 in connection, wherein the push rod extends partially within the structure 8. By gripping and actuating the actuating element 5, thus, the suction nozzle 1 can be easily moved between the extended and the retracted position.

Weiterhin weist der Reinigungswagen 10 eine Rückstelleinrichtung für die Saugdüse 1 auf, die in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform durch zwei Zugfedern 6 gebildet ist, welche die Saugdüse 1 in Richtung der zurückgezogenen Position beaufschlagen. Hierdurch befindet sich die Saugdüse 1 grundsätzlich in der zurückgezogenen Position, kann jedoch durch Niederdrücken des Betätigungselements 5 in die ausgefahrene Position gebracht werden.Furthermore, the cleaning cart 10 has a return device for the suction nozzle 1, which is formed in the present embodiment by two tension springs 6, which act on the suction nozzle 1 in the direction of the retracted position. As a result, the suction nozzle 1 is basically in the retracted position, but can be brought by depression of the actuating element 5 in the extended position.

Obgleich in den Figuren nicht gezeigt, ist im Bereich des Betätigungselements 5 ferner ein Druckschalter angeordnet, der mit der elektrisch betriebenen Saugeinheit 3 in Verbindung steht, sodass bei einem Betätigen des Betätigungselements 5 die elektrisch betriebene Saugeinheit 3 eingeschaltet bzw. bei einem Loslassen des Betätigungselements 5 die elektrisch betriebene Saugeinheit 3 ausgeschaltet werden kann.Although not shown in the figures, in the region of the actuating element 5, a pressure switch is further arranged, which is in communication with the electrically operated suction unit 3, so that upon actuation of the Actuator 5, the electrically operated suction unit 3 is turned on or at a release of the actuating element 5, the electrically operated suction unit 3 can be turned off.
